Will be at WDW 12/19/15. Thank you in advance for your advice. My flight arrives at 11:20 am. Is it realistic to think that I can catch magical express check in at contemporary resort and make it the Coral Reef for a 2:30 ADR for candlelight processional?”

Hi Tommy,

You like to live on the edge, don't you? Three hours from touchdown to Epcot will be cutting it a bit close. If your flight lands on schedule, plan on one and a half hours on Disney's Magical Express to your hotel, depending on how many stops the bus makes. Another 30 minutes or so to check in to the hotel and then a quick hop on the monorail to the Ticket and Transportation Center with a transfer to the Epcot monorail which will be about 45 more minutes. Right now, we're at about 15 minutes under three hours and you still need to walk from the monorail to the restaurant. If nothing derails your plans, you will probably be OK, but you'll be starting your trip in quite a rush. If it's possible to make a later reservation, I highly recommend it, but totally up to you.

Thanks for visiting the Moms Panel. We hope to see you again real soon!
